See below.

No change to the above. In the text which I was reading [text book written for Japanese children] it had the following:-

かえるがなきだします。

As I would understand that, it means "a frog started to croak"

"蛙が鳴き出す" is the equivalent to the main entry above for the animal world and I am wondering if there is any reason for it not being included or for my not being able to find it.

It does not get as many Google hits as the main entry above, but it gets the odd 80k on my search.

The fact that 獲る is often read "とる" does not mean it is a recognized 訓読み for that kanji, as evidenced by it not being in any 漢和 that I can see. Only GG5 has 獲る/とる, although the WWW evidence is that it is being used. Put it down to the flexibility (some call it chaotic mess) which is Japanese orthography.

See below.

With "獲る" bearing the reading of both "とる and える",　is it possible for both readings to be included in the following reference in order to make that clear?

獲 [JIS] 334D [Uni] 7372 [部首] 94 [教育] 8 [画数] 16  [音] カク  [訓] え.る  [英]  seize; get; find; earn; acquire; can; may; able to 

I originally thought that "獲る" was "える" and "穫る" was "とる". Thanks for that clarification.

It is both
http://dic.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?ei=UTF-8&p=獲る&fr=dic&stype=exact

See below.

I thought that "獲る" was "える". See below which is supported by Kenkyusha and Nelson:-

 得る(P); 獲る 【える】 (v1,vt) (1) (獲る esp. refers to catching wild game, etc.) to get; to acquire; to obtain; to procure; to earn; to win; to gain; to secure; to attain; (suf,v1,vt) (2) (得る only) (See 得ない, 得る .うる) (after the -masu stem of a verb) to be able to ..., can ...; (P)

OK. WWWJDIC now block conjugations of verbs ending in られる and させる.

Thanks for pointing this out. I need some way of blocking WWWJDIC's conjugation table generator for cases like this. I'll leave this open to remind me.

If you go to the ichidan verb list to see all the types you can see for 
example that there is たべられられる available! This wrong...many verbs 
have false types like this..

not sure it needs to be both v1 and adj-pn unless the senses are split.  verbs normally can be used prenominally similary to an "adjective".

so i think the PoS should either be [v1,vi] or else split into two senses by PoS: [v1,vi] and [adj-pn]

not sure whether "arch" would be appropriate

No refs. My process for checking such submissions is:
(a) try the KOD site, where there are GG5, 大辞林, 新和英中辞典, etc. - no match
(b) try my collections of glossaries, EBs, etc. One hit - the 建築 EB says "冠頂 かんちょう clown". So it's possibly correct, as the kanji in 冠頂 are consistent with "crown", and the 建築 glossary editors are a bit prone to the old r/l problem.
(c) try in in Google - only 730 Japanese hits, which is not a lot.
- a click on "Images" to see if there is anything useful there - none really, although I discover that 冠頂紅蝦 is the Chinese name of Plesionika lophotes (a shrimp variety)
- near the top of the regular Google snippets is an entry in the Weblio aggregator site, and I see their 日英・英日専門用語辞書 has "冠頂 crown".
So I'm satisfied that it's a valid entry, but its low hit count and very poor representation in references makes me think it's a pretty rare term, so I will add a "obsc" (obscure) tag to it.
